Stephen Hawco was born in Tucson, Arizona but has lived in upstate New York for most of his life. He attended the State University of New York College at Oneonta, where he earned his B.S. in Mass Communication. More importantly, he received a true appreciation for film in his second year at Oneonta, thanks to a very special professor.

Steve loves skateboarding, books, any movie by Akira Kurosawa, the New York Rangers, hi-def gaming with the modern marvel that is the PS3, and enhanced DVDs that actually fit his widescreen TV. He dislikes cold weather and audio channels that kick in and out during viewing.

Steve loves writing about film and is just getting started in that area. He'll let you know when he gets a real job.
